Which of the Following Statements Concerning the Electron Transport Chain

Question

Which of the following statements concerning the electron transport chain is false?
A) The final electron acceptor is oxygen.
B) Each NADH yields three ATP molecules.
C) Each FADH2yields two ATP molecules.
D) The electron transport chain will work whether oxygen is present or not.
